Zoey Barnes is all too aware of the attention her childhood friend receives from others in the hospital. Logan’s good looks and bedside manner leave many fawning over him. But when he “kidnaps” her after she’s injured and takes her to his mountain retreat to heal, she’s the one drawn by his bedside attentions. Still, she’s seen what love does to perfectly sane people, and since she’s spent her career helping people recover from the pain inflicted by the ones they love, she knows not to let him get too close. Logan calls her forced vacation a sabbatical. She calls it torture. Nature? Hikes? Seeing Logan in his swim trunks beneath a waterfall?
After too many days together and far too many salacious thoughts, reality returns with a punch. They finally go home to Carolina Cove but Zoey can’t forget exchanging one forbidden what-if kiss. When her patients need her and crashing and burning is one of the many possible outcomes with Logan, can she risk falling in love?
Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didn’t like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed true— they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.
Published in 2005 with Harlequin Enterprises, Kay’s first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee. Look for her most recent novels with Kindred Spirits Publishing.
